We’re your hosts, Martin and Natacha. We had a dream to leave our hectic working lives and cold Quebec Canadian winters for a simpler life in the sun and having visited Costa Rica and Panama a few times, we decided to take the leap! Costa Rica’s safety and commitment to the environment made it our first choice and we were attracted to the Caribbean Coast’s multiculturalism, nature and warm people. From our first visit to La Casa del Mango, we knew that we’d had found our dream and we’re excited to share our Pura Vida experience with guests.

Nous sommes vos hôtes, Martin et Natacha. Nous avions un rêve de quitter le rythme de vie acharné et les hivers froids du Québec pour une vie plus simple au soleil et après avoir visité le Costa Rica et le Panama à quelques reprises, on a décidé de faire le grand saut. La sécurité du pays et le dévouement envers la nature à fait du Costa Rica notre premier choix. Le multiculturalisme, l'accueil des gens et la nature nous ont attirés vers la côte des Caraïbes. Des notre première visite à la Casa del Mango, on a su qu'on venait de trouver notre endroit de rêve et nous sommes très excité de partager l'experience Pura Vida avec nos invités.

Why not seen the beaches and jungle from horseback? This is an ideal tour for children and adults alike.

Despite the growth of tourism, many of Cahuita's inhabitants make their living through fishing and if the sea's calm; they'll be selling their catch at about 11:00pm from the dock near the primary school. If you want to try your fishing skills with a hand line, local fishermen will be happy to take you out on a paid tour -- and you can arrange to have your fish cooked and served with rice and beans in coconut milk later.

Monkeying around in Cahuita National Park...

If you're looking to see wildlife, then the National Park is the place for you! We see (and hear) plenty of monkeys around La Casa del Mango, but both White-faced and Howler monkeys inhabit the white beach area where the park is located. 

We just dodged this fast moving white-faced monkey as he headed towards us and our snacks.  These are the least shy of the monkey species and are very inquisitive. 

The Howler monkeys may sound aggressive, but they like to stay away from people in general.  You'll see them throwing down food (and more) from the trees if they think that you're getting too close....

What monkeying around have you seen here?
